Histoire
During the overthrow of the Mexican government, Beatriz’s father was executed and her home destroyed. When handsome Don Rodolfo Solórzano proposes, Beatriz ignores the rumors surrounding his first wife’s sudden demise, choosing instead to seize the security that his estate in the countryside provides. She will have her own home again, no matter the cost. But Hacienda San Isidro is not the sanctuary she imagined. Something is wrong with the hacienda. And no one there will save her. Far from a refuge, San Isidro may be Beatriz’s doom.

Born in 1905, Daisy Goodwill Flett drifts through the chapters of childhood, marriage, widowhood, remarriage, motherhood, and old age, bewildered by her inability to understand her own role in the unsettled decades of the twentieth century. At last, reflecting on her unobserved and unconventional life, Daisy attempts to find a way to tell her story within a novel that is itself about the limitations of autobiography.

Histoire
Ursa possesses a very special gift. She can travel through memory and revisit her past. After she flees her hometown for the counterculture glory of 1950s California, the intoxicating potential of her unique ability eventually draws a group of women into her orbit and into a ramshackle Victorian mansion in the woods outside Santa Cruz. Yet Ursa’s powers come with a cost. Soon this cultish community of sisterhood takes an ominous turn, prompting her son, Ray, and his pregnant lover, Cherry, to flee their home for Los Angeles and reinvent themselves far from Ursa’s insidious influence.

Description
A stunning, lyrical novel set in the rolling foothills of the Appalachians about a young girl and the family truths that will haunt her for the rest of her life.
“A girl comes of age against the knife.”
So begins the story of Betty Carpenter. Born in a bathtub in 1954 to a white mother and a Cherokee father, Betty is the sixth of eight siblings. The world they inhabit in the rural town of Breathed, Ohio, is one of poverty and violence—both from outside the family and, devastatingly, from within. But despite the hardships she faces, Betty is resilient. Her curiosity about the natural world, her fierce love for her sisters, and her father’s brilliant stories are kindling for the fire of her own imagination, and in the face of all to which she bears witness, Betty discovers an escape: she begins to write.
Inspired by generations of her family, Tiffany McDaniel sets out to free the past by delivering this heartbreaking yet magical story—a remarkable novel that establishes her as one of the most important voices in American fiction.

The best book I’ve experienced in 15 years.
I am sitting here sobbing at the end of this book. Because of the content and the deep sadness that it is over. What a beautiful, tragic story. I have not been moved by a book like this in a very long time. Thank you Tiffany McDaniel and Dale Dickey. I will be recommending this to everyone I know.

Beautiful writing. Traumatic story
I liked the writing style of this book, however, it seems like every bad or horrible thing that could ever happen is brought up in this book back to back with no end or break. I tend to like more heart wrenching books, but be warned this one is a tough one to get through. There’s not alot of ups and downs, it’s mostly just hit after hit.

Obvious tearjerker
This book suffers from somewhat uneven writing. At times, a moving story with descriptive writing that can be overblown and leaning into maudlin. The story is overly long and moves from one tragedy to the next with little respite. Warning - Sexual trauma triggers in this book.

Heart wrenching family story
Some passages difficult to read because of the graphic nature. Some other parts are spiritual and mystical. A good read if you can withstand horrors.

Not for the faint hearted
While this is a very well written book, it should be noted that trigger warnings are abound. Don’t go into this one blind. If trauma on the page doesn’t bother you, you will really enjoy this book. The narrator is excellent and will keep you engaged, but this novel is emotionally heavy.
